Step 9: Ammo, Loading and Firing

Step 10: Finished!

Your done! Not much to say here, exept be extremely careful. And I mean it. You could really do some damage if you are not wary of what can go wrong. ...

Step 6: Trigger system

This is the trigger system. It is relatively complicated, probably the most so on this cannon. It has to be able to hold a great deal of weight in two stages. First, while you are loading, the elastics are wrapped around the red rods at the back, so the must be very secure. Once the bullet is at the back and locked in, all the elastic pull is put on it, so it too, has a very secure holding mechanism. It is released by simple bulling back the large knob on top. If you didn't get that, don't worry, there will be better explanations later on.

This step has been split up into a few smaller substeps for your convenience. 1: What you are about to make2: Build this little part3: Then make this4: Another view of that thing. There are blue spacers on every yellow rod5: A view from the bottom. Make sure that all the rods are lined up6: Build this7: And tape it up. Make sure the tape is not obstructing the hole8: Make this little guy9: That thingy upside-down10: Another view....11: A view from the back...12: From the top...13: Add the pin to that weird thingy with a blue rod and a blue cap (can be tan)14: Put the handle on top15: A view of that connection. Make sure all the rods are lined up and attached in there correct places16: Put it on that thing you made first17: Now make this. It is the upper part of the back of the slide18: A view of the end19: And from below20: A view from a different angle. Remember the whites on the end21: The lower back slide. Prettymuch the same22: A view from the end23: A view from an angle again24: The biggest chunk of this mechanism. Your about to make it25: Make this back part. Remember those pieces inside26: A view of the back of the back part27: Looking inside it for a better view28: Looking inside the top for a better view of that29: the other part of the main mechanism. There are blue and white rods on all of the yellow connectors.30: Just so you can see that31: A close up of the front32: A close up of the top (upside down)33: The top from the back (still upside down)34: The bottom (close up and upside down)35: Just so you can see the whites36: The back part and the main part37: And that connected. Yay!38: Added the knob thingy39: Added the bottom slide...40: That connection....41: Added the top slide42: And a close up of that connection43: Looking down that barrel44: Add an elastic on top. It should only be strong enough to pull the knob all the way down, no more.

Step 6 hurts so much! ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!! Anyway, my thumbs fell like they were thrown into the cracks of Doom and then stabbed multiple times. The only thing that makes me want to go on is the fact that it looks like its smooth sailing froom here. Then I get to blow my backyard to hell.
